Moderate
victorjulien published GHSA-qrp7-g66m-px24 Jul 11, 2024

Package

suricata

Affected versions

>=6.0.0,<=6.0.19
>=7.0.0,<=7.0.5

Patched versions

6.0.20
7.0.6

Description

Impact

Mishandling of multiple fragmented packets using the same IP ID value can lead to packet reassembly failure, which can lead to policy bypass.

Patches

Upgrade to 7.0.6 or 6.0.20.

Workarounds

When using af-packet, enable defrag to reduce the scope of the problem.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
